La Birria

TLDR: 5/5 s!! if you haven't been here, give both their hellfire and queso (regular) tacos!! ~Quick disclaimer: The photos below are of their old menu (they now have more options & is located on the right hand side of the ordering area) & truck (their truck is now red, closer to the Leonard's Malasadas truck)~La Birria is our FAVORITE place for Tacos!! If you live in the Aiea/Pearl Harbor area, this food truck is a MUST TRY!The first time we went, we got the 12 pack Birria Queso Tacos and a separate order of Hellfire Tacos. Second time, we got a 12 pack of the Hellfire Tacos & a Horchata! I would say that the better choice between the two if you were super hungry/could EAT, would be the 12 pack Birria Queso Tacos with a couple of the Hellfire Tacos. If you LOVE spicy food, I would say tackle the 12 Hellfire Tacos if you think you can handle it! My boyfriend and I are HUGE spicy food fans, but we couldn't finish all 12 (he finished 4, I finished 3) in one sitting--needless to say it was SPICY and La Birria was not messing around or kidding with that name. Regardless of which type of tacos you choose, I promise you won't go wrong with what you get!! The horchata was a great balance of milk/creaminess and cinnamon! I also love it because it has a different taste than other horchatas I've had--it's much lighter! ~ As described in the Quick Disclaimer portion, the truck has been renovated a bit along with their menu! I don't have all the changes memorized, BUT I do know that they also now have a Birria Taco Roulette pack where you get 11 Birria Queso Tacos & 1 hidden Hellfire Taco in the mix AND they have add-ons (Strawberry and Cold Brew) to their Horchata~ The service here was awesome! The staff is so nice and they are SO SPEEDY! For our 12 pack Hell Fire Tacos only took about 3-5 minutes and when taking our order, they were so friendly & helpful! If you haven't been here, it's in the Old SEARS parking lot over at Pearlridge Shopping center right next to the Leonard's Malasadas truck! The worst part about this experience was honestly waiting in the heat/minimal shade in the area besides the few picnic tables provided under the trees, but IT'S WORTH IT, I PROMISE!! Go give La Birria a try! you won't regret it!

First saw the La Birria truck at the old PearlRidge Sears parking lot. Was a cheap eats episode and decided to try them. Ordered two Birria Queso pack and a Horchata drink. Like the fresh crunchy fried taco shells and the dipping sauce. It's a pulled beef with cheese, cilantro and fresh purple onions. The dipping sauce is for dipping your taco in or pour it over your tacos. If you don't use all your sauce, you can order some Ramen noodles to put in the sauce.The Horchata drink is a white sweet drink which you could also order with strawberries for two dollars more which I will next time.Pro: Like the freshness of the fried tacos, cilantro and onions. Dipping sauce is very tasty and a little spicy. Con: Messy with the sauce but good with the tacos. My lunch partner is not a fan of shredded beef, cilantro and onions. If my lunch partner would eat there. Would ordered with extra cheese with no cilantro and onions. Would I go back? Yes.

Bring cash. They charge a lot to use cards here. Woman at the register wasn't that friendly but I'm from Cali so it's whatever. As long as the food is good - she is just taking my order and handing me food. Also!! It's not located inside the mall. It's WAY down toward the edge of the 99. Near where it was the old sears building is what I have been told by my local friends. Across the street you can see the T mobile and AT&T stores. It's just a little food truck and we are thankful we finally found the correct location. The tacos are delicious. They are smaller street sized tacos but are stuffed with meat. They have the perfect amount of cheese, onions and cilantro. We ordered the Mexican roulette and had so much fun. Then we found the firecracker and wowza. The flavor was so good but the heat burnt off all my taste buds. We all tried it. It's hot and not an enjoyable one. I could drink the consume. In fact I added it to a pack of saimin noodles with some lime juice. So technically... just do it. I'm sure their ramen here is also delicious but I just want noodles and broth no meat. Our next box we picked up we skipped the hiding hell fire and opted for a regular box. It's a crowd pleaser at my house.

I got the 12 pack as well as thesis Fresca and my gf got horchata.Upon arriving, they had a pretty good line but that line moved quick. I place my order and they give you a beeper. Be ready to wait in the sun because it is a food truck. They have tables where some are in shade while others aren't. Even if you can't get a table, we did not wait very long. Maybe 10 minutes max after placing our order.The food was ok. I was expecting better but it was still good. The birria queso is not spicy at all so if you want spicy, you might want to try the hell fire. The drinks were ok. My gf and I both did not like the agua Fresca. It just tasted weird. The horchata was good in my opinion. My gf did not like the horchata but I did. They also have the option to add strawberry into it but I did not do that. If you're wanting to get full here then go for the 12 pack because I myself had to eat 6 to get full. I'm a 5'6" guy at 210lbs so took 6 tacos for me to feel full.Overall, i personally will be back but not anytime soon. I don't crave Mexican food often but I was wanting birria tacos and this hit the spot so I should be good for a while. Oh and I would recommend eating it right at the pearlridge parking lot. My food got cold quick. I drove home to Ewa and the cheese was not melted anymore, tacos weren't as crispy and it just was not hot as when we were given the box. It didn't take long to get cold so eat right away or you could reheat it in a pan or oven.

Been coming here for as long as i can remember. The quality hasn't changed. So good and worth the line. The tacos come out fast.

Here's why you go to get tacos. I love tacos. I love food trucks. I love the beautiful people that feeds my soul with the love they put in their food. La Birria's tacos will do that and more. I was driving all over, looking to get those tiny watch batteries to fix my watch. Went to a Big chain store: nope. Local drug store: nope. So I left unsatisfied. Looking to fill the void, I said I want tacos. When she asked if I need anything else with my tacos I said, "Yeah, I need some watch batteries." Guess what she said? Yup, she said I gotcha, this morning, I was getting some propane from the hardware store and they had batteries next to the check out line! Tacos will solve your problems!

10/10 would recommend!Food is prepared pretty quickly and it tastes great! It's hard to find street tacos in Hawaii imo so this was a nice surprise. They do run out of things quickly - tried getting the birria ramen and I think it's one of their popular dishes

This is my favorite Birria taco place in Hawaii. They are very generous with the meat and cheese. I would say a box can feed 2-3 people. There is a lot of onion and limes.The consume is flavorful, not too salty and good consistency. The food tastes very fresh, made to order and high quality ingredients. The service is made to order so please don't expect to get your food instantly. The workers are always kind and work very hard. The last time I went there, there was no seating so we usually just park our truck and eat on the bed. I would say you have about 10 minute timeframe to eat the tacos before they get cold and affects the taste.

I was craving birria tacos so I went here today. This is the best spot for birria tacos! Love how crunchy the tacos are and the taste of the consommé! Cravings satisfied!

Fantastic. We ended up here from the gluten dude app. Best choice. Tacos were crispy, flavorful and the Consome for dipping was delish. We tried two hellfire tacos and they live up to their name absolutely recommend and will be back.
